Review of The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (2007) by Joshua K — 18 Jul 2010

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Disclosure: I don?t use drugs (Okay, fine, alcohol/cigarettes, but specifically referring to the pot/cocaine in the film) and after watching ?The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down,? I?m curious to see if this is just a comedic guide to using, or what actually occurs.

And curious enough only to learn about the latter. Having less exposure to the (fill in the blank) guide shorts of decades past, and more on the guides examined/ridiculed on ?MST3k,? I thought this movie was hilarious.

I loved the fact it didn?t do a straight up remake of the guide films, but it showed one long night of partying and how to conduct yourself. Sort of a spoof off of one of my favorite films, ?Go,? ?Boys and Girls? explored everything from getting to the hot/not spots, what to do when partying, uh, getting down, and how to make your exit.

Years past since I hit these types of scenes/clubs, and since I never was a user, I was so oblivious to drug usage, someone could?ve been doing a line in front of me, and I would?ve probably asked them why they just didn?t put their sugar in their tea instead of their nose.

So, it just leads me to wonder? how much of the movie is true. (Yes, I am stating my ? happily ? ignorance.) Either way, it?s a hilarious effort, original and hopefully, most people won?t be taking it seriously enough to use this as their ?guide.
